“The Union Budget 2026’s proposal to raise capital expenditure to ₹12.2 lakh crore for FY 2026–27 reinforces the government’s strong commitment to infrastructure-led growth, which is critical for the real estate sector. Sustained public investment in transport, urban infrastructure, and logistics will significantly improve connectivity and open up new development corridors, particularly in emerging Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The proposed Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund is a timely and progressive step that will strengthen lender confidence, ease financing risks during the construction phase, and encourage greater private sector participation in large-scale developments. Additionally, accelerated monetisation of CPSE real estate assets and expansion of dedicated freight corridors will support commercial and industrial real estate growth, while enhancing overall urban livability. Collectively, these measures will drive sustainable real estate development and long-term demand across residential, commercial, and mixed-use segments.”
